Might not be an “expensive” card or a valuable one. But this was my first ever 1/1 card that I owned. As an Indiana Hoosier Alum and watching Yogi play, he is one of the all-time great IU point guards. It got a PSA 10 which is a nice bonus, but really just wanted it slabbed for my personal PC!

The rally towel is the collectable, but the memories of being in the second row to watch my team win their first national championship, an undefeated season, the Heisman winner and coach of the year was unparalleled. And to run the gauntlet and win on enemy turf made it even better. What a game! The biggest turnaround in sports history. I never would have thought it could happen in my lifetime! Hoo-hoo-hoo-Hoosiers!

Who Ya Got?

One hour until kick off - one of the biggest IU games in their history. Indiana is ranked #7 and Oregon is ranked #3. Both teams are undefeated - but on the road kn Oregon is going to be super hard - the line has Oregon by 7.5. For good luck, I’m posing one of the former Hoosiers that I had the most fun watching - Antwaan Randle-El who played QB at the college level and WR in the NFL (and also point guard in college!). Here are a couple of the cards of his I like - I’m still looking for a sweet patch auto or superfractor or other 1/1 of his! Go Hoosiers!

Calbert Cheney was the smoothest player I’ve ever seen play college basketball in person. Thankfully, I went to IU while he was there under Coach Bob Knight. They had some amazing teams in Bloomington when I was in college! While he never materialized as the superstar I thought he would be in the NBA, and he just missed the late 90s high-end parallels. This retro skybox Ruby produced by upper deck once they obtained the Fleer and A Skybox IP is still super cool. I’ll be at cheap card to have in my collection. If anyone has any rare Calbert cards, please shoot me a DM! Still looking for his IU debut and record-breaking Big Ten scoring ticket/stub, too!
